Parallel Studies (Parallelstudium)

If you are already enrolled at another university in the Federal Republic of Germany and would like to simultaneously earn an additional degree at the University of Potsdam, you need to apply for a parallel degree program.

Enrollment in a parallel degree program can only be granted if you intend to earn a degree in both subjects. When seeking to study a combination in which one degree program is without admission limits and the second degree program has limited admission, an admission notification is required for the latter. Parallel studies in two subjects with admission limits may only be granted upon review of a separate and justified petition if:

you have been admitted to both degree programs

your enrollment does not prevent other applicants who are seeking a first degree program from enrolling

the parallel degree program in the selected combination of subjects is a requirement for the professional degree
